GuidedNav: Shaping Vision-Language Navigation Representations through Pre-action Attention and Spatial Guidance

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

GuidedNav is a new framework for vision‑and‑language navigation that explicitly shapes the representations linking instructions to actions. It uses subtask and landmark guidance to focus pre‑action attention on the relevant instruction segment and visual regions, and spatial guidance to align internal representations with geometric features of the environment. The method achieves state‑of‑the‑art success rates on R2R‑CE and RxR‑CE val‑unseen, improving by 8.1% and 13.1% respectively, while also providing faster inference and introducing two new annotation‑enriched datasets, Guided‑R2R and Guided‑RxR.

InsightMap: Structured Spatial Modeling for Embodied Multimodal Reasoning

InsightMap is a framework that uses top‑down maps as explicit spatial memory and action‑conditioned prediction targets for language‑guided navigation. It links historical views to labeled map locations and employs a shared multimodal backbone to jointly learn navigation action prediction and post‑action map generation, providing auxiliary training supervision. The approach supports a unified RGB‑D pipeline for navigation, visual question answering, situated reasoning, and 3D grounding, achieving state‑of‑the‑art results on R2R‑CE, RxR‑CE, ScanQA, SQA3D, ScanRefer, and outperforming baselines on the Unitree Go2 platform.
